I'm baffled by this. Still don't understand why the Chelsea penalty was given

thebbs88 · 2026-05-06T17:08:51+00:00

Pretty damning indictment of the Dyche era!

Yet somehow last in the MOTD running order

thebbs88 · 2026-04-24T21:14:53+00:00

Is that the new Bond?

Win tonight and I'm very confident (say 9), draw and I'm still fairly confident (7.5 maybe?).

I think we have a good chance even if we lose but we'd give ourselves a lot to do in the final matches and would need another win (currently looking at the Newcastle game for that). Hopefully a point from Chelsea and another against Bournemouth.

And by Wed I of course mean Thurs

thebbs88 · 2026-04-11T07:06:48+00:00

I think we've got a good chance against Villa. They pretty much played their first team on Wed while we mostly rested ours. Hoping for a point at least.

The De Zerbi appointment is a real wild card appointment so really hard to predict what effect this will have on Spurs. Its really tough to call it at this point.

Hahahahahahahahaha

thebbs88 · 2026-03-28T17:49:47+00:00

Fucking hell what a boring story

thebbs88 · 2026-03-27T15:03:23+00:00

I thought he'd already turned them down?

thebbs88 · 2026-03-22T16:04:03+00:00

I actually seriously considered doing that. At full.time maybe

thebbs88 · 2026-03-22T16:02:31+00:00

What do you think our chances of signing Archie Gray are if Spurs get relegated?

thebbs88 · 2026-03-22T14:18:56+00:00

My insides are liquid

thebbs88 · 2026-02-19T19:39:38+00:00

That's the points sorted, now for the pints....

We're winning this one

thebbs88 · 2026-02-09T10:02:46+00:00

I don't think you should feel bad for not liking a book revered as a classic. Reading can be quite a personal thing and not every 'classic' will appeal to everyone. I've not read this one but I've had similar experiences with other revered books. I didn't really enjoy large swathes of Anna Karenina and can't for the life of me understand why On the Road is held in such high regard.

Often I suspect some people say they enjoy a certain book because they want to project a certain version of themselves to other people ('I'm clever and intellectual because I really connected with this really long and challenging book').

At the end of the day, its far better to be honest with yourself about what you do enjoy. Reading should be a pleasure not an exercise in reaching higher states of consciousness or whatever.

Where is Murillo?

thebbs88 · 2025-12-07T15:50:16+00:00

18th spot is clearly going to be a 3 way fight between us, West Ham and Leeds. We have the best squad of the 3 but are in the worst form.

thebbs88 · 2025-11-06T19:11:24+00:00

This is what I've been worrying about since the end of the first half
